Inner Temple Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, the verse reveals worship as an inner state of awareness, not a ritual of place. Your 'temple' is the I AM within, where you affirm lovingkindness and truth as unalterable realities. 'Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name' means your inner word—your eternal decree—magnifies reality more than any outward label. When you cried, the answer comes as a felt strengthening of your soul, a lift in consciousness that shows up as steadiness and power in your inner life. The scene shifts from plea to the recognition that imagination, when faithfully tended, is the true instrument by which God answers. Faithfulness to this inner truth becomes your practice: you speak, feel, and dwell in the affirmed state until it is seen in your world. Remember: the external 'name' fades beside the certainty of the I AM and its living word.
